I am a fun loving, spontaneous and adventurous guy and I have spent my whole life in New Zealand... that's the small country to the lower right of Australia on a map!

Until 2017, I had never left the country! But since then I have visited 19 countries and my goal is to visit 50 by 2025.

I previously worked as a radio announcer and real estate agent. I am currently training to become a tour guide in Europe for Contiki.

My father was a Dutch man so I am half Dutch and I am slowly chipping away at learning the language. I hope to live in the Netherlands for a year or two some point in the near future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and hearing their stories! My story is a short one but it's growing every day and you could become a part of it! Hoping I can help you on your travels!

Interests

I love music. All types of music too. I'm not one of those people who you ask:

"what music do you like?"
"Everything!"
"Oh yeah how about country and opera?"
"Oh no I don't like those ones..."

I ain't one of those people! I love my music and I am open and usually love 99% of tunes that I hear.

I enjoy exercising in the form of extreme sports! I've not yet skydived but it's on my to do list! I've been canyoning, white water rafting, rock climbing and free climbing.
I skate, surf and snowboard... although I'm a bit uncoordinated so I don't claim to be a pro at any of these things!

I'm an avid cinema goer and try to head to the flicks at least twice a month.
